It would help if we knew all of your system specs. Can you please fill out your signature rig? You do it by clicking on your avatar at the top of the page and then scrolling down to the bottom. After you have filled it out add it to your signature.
I'm on mobile at the moment....I have asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0,amd fx8320,16gb g skill snipper ram 1866 MHz,deepcool cpu cooler,sapphire nitro+ rx 580 8gb,evga 650 gold psu
Once you get HWINFO64 set up the way you like it( you can delete and rename things) you are ready to begin.
First, in the bios turn off turbo, CnQ, and basically all the green energy things. If you have AI Suite installed, delete it. It is buggy and can mess things up.
Then set the vcore manually using offset mode to 1.4 volts. Test using IBT AVX while monitoring with HWINFO64. If it passes, then lower the vcore and do it again. Keep doing it until it fails. This is your Point "A". Now start going up on the multiplier and vcore until temperatures hit 62C or so. That is your 24/7 overclock.
That looks pretty good. Could you show a screenie showing both IBT and HWINFO64? Methinks using the microsoft key and print screen key will get you a screenie.
It should run at 1866 if you set it to that in the bios and do not bump up the FSB. If you bump the FSB and then it will revert to 1600. There is no real benefit to faster ram until you get to 4.8 ghz. After that faster ram makes a difference.
To go farther than that requires setting the ram to 1600 and going with an FSB OC. An FSB OC overclocks everything so many different settings need to be tweaked. A multi OC is much simpler and still gives good results. It's up to you as to which way to go.
I set the multiplier to 4400 and bumped up the bus speed from 200 to 204 which got me to 4.5 and I think that is what bumped up the ram speed to 1632 only thing I did to the ram was the timing 9-10-9-28
How odd. It is a matched set of ram, correct? Try setting the voltage to 1.5 v but that should not make a difference. Try setting it to 1600 and see what happens. If it has to stay at 1600, then you will be doing an FSB overclock.
If I do everything you said yesterday with just using the multi to reach 4.5 it will boot at 1600 1.5.....but I have no idea about the FSB stuff lol and if you said if won't do me any good until 4.8 I don't think I can get that on air cool
I haven't tried any of that just set the timing...I'm not real sure about memory overclocking...when I get home I will give you a list of every setting that I changed
CPU ratio: 22.0
CPU bus freq: 204
Mem freq: 1632
CPU/nb freq: 2244
Ht link speed.: 2448
CPU volt: 1.4
Nb volt: 1.1
Nb ht volt: 1.2
CPU load line: high
CPU/nb load line: reg
CPU current capability: 130%
CPU/nb current capability: 100%
CPU power phase: optimized
CPU power response.: ultra fast
CPU/nb power response: fast
Ok, I'm really hesitant to do this but here are my bios settings for my 5 ghz stable setup. Do NOT use these cpu voltage settings! They are red for a reason. You should not need the yellow ones either. Then try to keep the CPU/NB and HT link as close to standard as possible. The other settings should make for a stable bios.
See that's the thing I don't if it was the ram that stopped it or if the 1.44 volts to the CPU wasn't enough I had all the other settings the same as yours EXCEPT the CPU voltage...but i don't why it didn't fail until my home screen it booted I put password in home screen loaded up then it failed
Wait, did you actually set the CPU bus frequency to 251? That would give you a 5 ghz overclock. That needs to be set to 200 along with a CPU ratio of 20.0 for a 4 ghz overclock.
